POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF TWO CRYPTIC DUCKWEED SPECIES

The data presented in this study, titled "Population Genetic Structure of Two Cryptic Duckweed Species (Lemna minor & L. turionifera) in Alberta Using a Genotyping-by-Sequencing Approach," is about to be published in the Journal Aquatic Botany. Our research utilized genotyping-by-sequencing to investigate the population genetic structure of two duckweed species, Lemna minor and L. turionifera Landolt, in Alberta. For this analysis, we employed four distinct datasets, each represented by a .vcf file: Lemna_minor_&_turionifera_lm550refgenom: This dataset includes samples of both L. minor and L. turionifera, with the reference genome being L. minor 5500 (An et al., 2018). Lemna_minor_lm550refgenom: This dataset comprises solely L. minor samples, and the reference genome used is L. minor 5500 (An et al., 2018). Lemna_turionifera_lm550refgenom: This dataset contains only L. turionifera samples, with the reference genome being L. minor 5500 (An et al., 2018). Lemna_minor_lm8627refgenom: This dataset consists exclusively of L. minor samples, and the reference genome utilized is L. minor 8627 (An et al., 2018). The samples of Lemna minor and L. turionifera were collected from various locations across six watersheds and 12 river basins in Alberta. This comprehensive study aims to shed light on the population genetic structure of these cryptic duckweed species in Alberta using advanced genotyping-by-sequencing techniques.

Lemna_minor_&_turionifera_lm550refgenom：该数据集涵盖小浮萍与孢芽浮萍两类样本，参考基因组为小浮萍5500（An等，2018）。 2. Lemna_minor_lm550refgenom：该数据集仅包含小浮萍样本，所用参考基因组为小浮萍5500（An等，2018）。 3. Lemna_turionifera_lm550refgenom：该数据集仅包含孢芽浮萍样本，参考基因组为小浮萍5500（An等，2018）。 4. Lemna_minor_lm8627refgenom：该数据集仅包含小浮萍样本，所用参考基因组为小浮萍8627（An等，2018）。 本研究中的小浮萍与孢芽浮萍样本采自阿尔伯塔省6个流域及12个河盆的多个采样点位。 本综合性研究旨在借助先进的基因型分型测序技术，阐明阿尔伯塔省这两种隐蔽型浮萍物种的种群遗传结构。 如需获取更多信息，请联系通讯作者Kanishka M.
